The Dead Don't Sing Alleluia (Bright Monday)

from Chat Room Days by Champion Leader

/

lyrics

Can you sing “Alleluia”?
If you can’t, maybe you’re in hell
They say the fire never scorches you there man,
but who can tell?

(These are the right days)
In Jerusalem the colonnades sing Your Name
(These are the Bright Days)
May Paradise consume us
(again and again and again…)

Hey, what are these scars that I bear?
One from the wreck
and one for taking your dare.
Every hair turns gray when your feel the cares…

Hey why are my hands in the air?
Sursum Corda,
“Upward hearts!”
Gold brocade,
so savoir faire!

Whisper secrets, I promise to keep it, I promise dear!


(These are the right days)
In Jerusalem the colonnades sing Your Name
(These are the Bright Days)
May Paradise consume us
(again and again and again…)
(These are the right days)
Crowns of laurel, the winners of the game
(These are the Bright Days)
Lions for the martyrs
(again and again and again!)

Can you sing “Alleluia”?
If you can’t maybe you’re still in hell
Some say the fire never scorches you there man,
but who can tell?

Try to sing along: Alleluia!
A song can save you: Oh, Alleluia!
But if you don’t know the words
what good will it do you then?
